Approximately 650 head of slaughter cattle and 100 head of beef
cows sold today. The market showed a nice rebound as compared to previous
weeks to start off 2016! Young replacement quality beef cows from Maybell
were a highlight today, bringing $128-140. Otherwise in the beef cow market,
lean cows ranged in the low to mid $70s and fleshier cows the mid $70s to mid
$80s. Fleshy beef cows from Gill and Grover sold particularly well.
Smooth Holstein cows with very good body condition ranged from $66.50-75.00.
Leaner Holstein cows, also in very good body condition averaged $63.00-68.00.
There was a nice selection of beef heiferettes out of Cheyenne and Gill and
Maybell today as well. We’re gearing up for our big Special Stock Show Feeder
sales over the next two weeks and hope to see you on Tues Jan 12th and 19th
in addition to our regular Wednesday sales.
